ISO: Turbo Booster, maybe CD unit:
« on: April 01, 2018, 11:45:37 AM »
Hello everyone, I haven't post here in away but I came across a Turbo Grafx 16 that I found in an abandon barn (going to post about it once I get it cleaned, really dirty). However, I cannot stand the lack of AV and though maybe I can find someone here with with a Turbo Booster for a reasonable price. I could do a CD unit but they are super pricey these days but I could be interested.

Have you looked into the db booster that provides AV/S-Video/RGB

These are a much cheaper alternative to a turbo booster or DB electronics one.

user choijimmy here sells them. So if you get in touch with him he might be willing to sell one to you for a little less than ebay price. Never hurts to ask.

Do they come with a plastic cover or could I get one somewhere? I am all about practical solutions but a naked circuit board doesn't do it for me.

You can tap composite and l/r audio off the expansion bus with a cheap a/v cable and some little crimp connectors.

mickris sells RGB modified Tennokoe IIs. It's an official device with a plastic shell that can be used on a PC Engine/SuperGrafx or TG-16 system and adds backup saving to HuCard games.

Here's an old thread of his with a picture of some of them. His current price might be different now. You might have to pm him to see one of his pics of it on a TG-16. It's the best video mod available and much better than RGB mods by people like doujindance.

Thanks! That looks like a contender, if I ever get that system running properly. I just need to get a new tip for my solder tool to get the stubborn shielding off the complete cleaning. The RF output on the TG16 seen its better days so I might as well get the AV option then replace it.
